Georgian Mahogany Miniature Chest
Located in Bedfordshire, GB
A Good Quality And Charming Early 19th Century Mahogany Miniature Chest, Having Well Figured Top Over Three Long Drawers With Original Brass Knobs And Boxwood Inlaid Escutcheons, Over Elegant Shaped Apron With Original Splayed Bracket Feet.
There is regular debate over whether miniature furniture was made as an apprentice piece, which is when a craftsmen who was looking for a job at a workshop would create something to showcase their talents. Or whether it was made as a travelling salesmans sample piece, which is when a few items were produced as scale models but a well established workshop as a form of physical catalogue in advance of a travelling salesman’s road trip around the country, for him to use to try and fill his order book with full size counterparts.
We believe that this particular little Georgian Miniature Chest was probably made as an apprentice piece, due to the relative simplicity of it, combined with the exceptional execution, which maybe suggests that somebody was very much trying to impress somebody else. It is also slightly unusual in form, which again suggests it was made more as a one off item with a specific purpose, as opposed to a scale model of other items.
It is certainly a charming piece of antique miniature furniture...

Authentic 1644 Janssonius Map of the Champagne Region (Campania) in France
Located in Langweer, NL
"1644 Janssonius Map of Champagne, France"
This meticulously detailed original antique map, engraved in 1644, is a work by the esteemed cartographer Johannes Janssonius. It depicts the historic province of Champagne, situated in the northeastern part of France. The map is notable for its high level of detail, with meticulously drawn boundaries, city markers, and river courses. It features a beautifully rendered cartouche adorned with the provincial coat of arms, flanked by classical figures, indicative of the region's cultural significance. In the lower left corner, a pair of cherubs are engaged in surveying, symbolizing the scientific endeavor of cartography. The elaborate compass rose and the scale bar further complement the map's utility and artistic merit.
Champagne is renowned globally for its viticultural heritage, being the birthplace of the eponymous Champagne sparkling wine. The region's unique terroir, with its chalky soil and cool climate, is ideal for the production of the grapes used in champagne-making. The historical significance of Champagne extends beyond winemaking; it has been the site of pivotal battles and royal coronations, which shaped the course of French and European history. This map is not only a navigational tool but also a snapshot of a region rich in history and tradition, an artifact that embodies the geographical and cultural prestige of Champagne.
This description provides a detailed visual and contextual presentation of the map, suitable for a catalog entry, emphasizing both its artistic features and the historical and cultural importance of the Champagne region.
THE WINE AREAS:
The Champagne region, known primarily for its production of the sparkling wine that bears its name, encompasses several important cities and sites of historical and cultural significance:
1. **Reims**: Often considered the unofficial capital of the Champagne region, Reims is renowned for its grand cathedral, Notre-Dame de Reims, where French kings were historically crowned...

Caravaggesque Oil on Copper "Flagellation of Christ" Baroque Sicilian, 17th Cent
By (After) Caravaggio
Located in Milano, IT
Splendid 17th-century Italian painting by unknown artist, but certainly a follower of Caravaggio, relying on style and drawing.
The painting has a very beautiful gilded wooden frame, with a subtle greek with spheres and an overlying rectangular frame with sinuous flowers on each corner, very elegant and beautiful.
The painting depicts one of the most depicted religious scenes ever, the scourging of Christ, and is entirely done in oil on copper.
The scourging of Jesus is an episode narrated in the Gospels (Mk15:15-16; Mt27:26-27; Lk23:16-26; Jn19:1-17[1]).
Scourging is a flogging, particularly bloody, by means of sticks, rods or cat-o-nine-tails, the latter instrument consisting, in the Roman typology, of a short stick to which were secured several strings ending in metal claws, leads and bone splinters that caused tremendous lacerations and fractures to the tortured person. Chains are used in this scene, both to immobilize Jesus Christ and to flog him, as we can see in the upper right hand of the scourger.
According to some personal research, it turned out that the actual scourging of Christ was mostly depicted at the column, while this Christ is on the ground, so presumably Christ here is scourged during the Way of the Cross at one of those stages where he fell.
The painting has a very dark coloring, which is why this painting is believed to faithfully follow Caravaggio's style of dry, authoritarian brushstrokes. The painting shows a figure agonizing on the ground that continues to receive beatings and floggings of all kinds, representing Christ; his face is crucified in a loquacious expression of pain, he turns his eyes to heaven as if to invoke God, but at the same time those same eyes admonish the wickedness and arrogance inherent in humanity.
Christ has one hand resting on the ground in the act of holding himself, while the other takes a completely unnatural stance against the barren ground. His body appears hardened to wanting to parry the blows, his legs are curled up on his knees as he takes kicks from the soldier above him. Christ is depicted pinned down from the neck with a very large and strong black iron bolt held by the other soldier. The soldier on the right in the foreground wears a one-shoulder tunic with an orange tunic and blue pants. On his feet he wears gray shoes, at his waist he has a belt with an iron helmet...
